And it appears that holography could get more than 256GB on an A4 sheet - if it were a few millimeters thick. Robin Me,

One would think so.

While one might imagine a pictographic system with 10,000 variations, including color, shape, width, etc., at some point those pictographs have to be rendered. Since the guy was reported to say that these could be printed in magazines, we're talking about well-known processes that have definite limits: resolution, color, registration and more. He was reported to have said that he could get 2 terabits on a single A4 sheet of paper, and short of holography, which is not a magazine printing processs, the resolution just doesn't exist. I'd love to be proven wrong and I hope I am. Yet based on what has been reported, and I know how shaky reporters can be, it doesn't just seem difficult, it seems impossible. Robin Oopa,

Spacial interpretation goes further than a 1 on 1 relationship of byte and colored dot, that hás to be, otherwise it will never work. As has been pointed out and calculated, a 1 on 1 relationship of colored dots and bytes will most probably won't be how it's done. The 4,7 Gb per Inch seems incredibly high, but I think you do need the whole paper to get that little part decoded into 4,7Gb of information, otherwise it seems very unlikely. We must not forget by the way, that there have been previous storage compression inventions that had remarkable results, even some older kinds of technology seem to be able to extend their lives with enough research. Take for example Sun's tape and it's "record breaking" amount of storage.. yes, we are talking about petabytes here .. on tape .. :) ( source: http://research.sun.com/minds/2006-0608/ ) Cheers, Loopa Well, personally I think the idea could work.
